Kings Point, NY – Junior forward Alexandra Winfree (Millstone, NJ) led the United States Merchant Marine Academy Mariners (5-4) in scoring, finishing three assists shy of a triple double, in a 75-12 victory over the Vaughn College Warriors (0-6) Sunday afternoon in Kings Point, NY.

Winfree scored a game-high 19 points, and added 13 rebounds for her first double-double of the season. Sophomore forward Sara Ellenberger (Phoenix, AZ) also recorded her first double-double of 2012-13 with 18 points and 13 rebounds.
